It was also crazy weather but better than usual.
I didn’t expect July would come so fast! Time flies!
Today, I went to the city centre to find out why my mobile phone had broken and I had to guide Abel through the city.
It was the second time what my mobile phone had broken down which I don’t expect of SAMSUNG products.
But if I bring it for Vodafone shop to fix it, they will fix it for free.
It’s very convenient in this respect.
I realized that I’m suffering from pronunciation problems.
Because Abel and my pronunciation are totally different.
If I said to him some words, he couldn’t understand.
And I also couldn’t understand his pronunciation as well.
Sometimes it makes us annoyed with each other.
But, he can understand what Marie talking about something,
it proves that his English is correct, and my pronunciation is terrible.
So I think solving the problem is very difficult for me.
I hope my English gets better.

It was really crazy!!
Dublin weather interfered with our schedule every time.
I was really annoyed even though it is beautifully fine now.
If it had cleared, we could have played basketball this morning.
It’s meaningless that it is sunny now.
I think Dublin weather hates us, No! It hates me absolutely!!
Anyway, I already have finished my move.
My stuffs were not so much but Kay helped me to carry it from the city centre to the new family.
Marie is living alone except for home stay students.
My new house mates are Korean(Jane) and Spanish(Abel).
Abel is an Aspect student as well.
But he just arrived in Dublin so I have to tell him about school and so on later.
Following my expectation, Marie is a very quick speaker So I couldn’t understand what she said. But fortunately she is talkative so I have an opportunity to talk and to get accustomed to native English.
I’m going to try to keep up with her speaking as much as possible.

It was cloudy this morning but it became sunny later.
Today was busy because I had to prepare to move house and after go to a party in Keiko’s flat. I’m going to move tomorrow from this host house to another host house.
But it is just a temporary move because my host family takes a holiday for three weeks from next week.
They’ll go to Spain. And then, I’ll come back here again.
Before when I came here, my schedule had already decided.
After I moved host house, to live in the new host house until I finish my course.
But my mind has changed, so that now I would like rather stay in first host house.
Because I think time is most important for me so that I prefer stay there as this family respects my time.
And then, I called the new family.
The host mother’s name is Marie.
She makes me nervous because her talking is very quick and she has a deep voice.
Of course I don’t know her personality but it is her impression as me.
I hope she is very nice.
I have to go to Keiko’s flat from now on.
I heard that Julie will cook us some French meal.
I’m looking forward to eating their food, and I suppose that I will stay in her flat today.

It was sunny today! So I’m also fine!
In Aspect, It seems that Korean students might have a serious problem.
Because 53%of the morning class is Korean students so they said it doesn’t make sense and they wish that their classes were multinational.
Aspect organized its classes into morning and afternoon.
The morning classes are only for long stay students, Academic year and Academic semester,
so that mostly Asian students tend to choose this course, especially Korean.
On the other hand, mostly European students choose short period courses and belong to afternoon class.
So Korean students claimed the right to go to afternoon classes even if they are Academic students.
There is an important Korean meeting to be held from 3pm in Aspect.
After school, I went to Keiko’s house in order to talk about my flat.
Jae Pil who is Korean is going to finish his course and he’ll leave Dublin in September so I could live in his flat instead of him after he leaves Dublin.
It would be really convenient for me because the rent is cheap although it is located in the city centre and it takes 20 minutes from school on foot,
and what’s more, the flat mates are maybe Brazilian, Slovakian and Chinese.
I felt that it would be a really good circumstance for me.
So I’m looking forward to living there.

It was quite fine but still cold in spite of it being the end of June.
My teacher changed again.
Perhaps my class level has changed but I’m not sure. His name is Shane.
He is very funny and he speaks very quickly.
So I couldn’t understand but I can attend his class actively because his talking is a lot of fun.
I’m really interested in this class.
I’ll try to catch up in this class.
In the afternoon, I went to the Vodafone shop with new Japanese students because they hadn’t had any information about buying a mobile phone.
I felt that I was senior for them but their English level is absolutely better than mine.
Their TOEFL IBT scores are more than 560.
Their scores already have exceeded my aim in studying abroad.
I don’t know why they are coming to this school because I think Aspect isn’t so high grade.
One of them, her apartment is extremely close to my apartment in Sendai, That’s why I was very surprised. Such a small world.
Anyway, they must be brilliant!!
After school, I went to Antoine’s flat with Kay and Antoine. He cooked and treated us with tomato pasta specially.
Sometimes he would be kind, but usually he is rude…..ha, ha ,ha.

It was changeable weather today so I’m annoyed.
Although my teacher said yesterday that I would be given my exam result today but I didn’t receive them. I don’t know why.
Our teacher is Rala who is also my elective class teacher from today. Perhaps she’ll teach us only this week because we might change our level and class depend on results.
After classes, Taro introduce me to Runa.
Runa is a Trinity college (most famous and the greatest university in Ireland) student and she’s from Sendai in Japan.
So I had a close affinity with her.
She also went to the university, near my university, before she came here.
Her English is very good (of course!!!) so she must have studied English seriously.
I have to follow her example.
Then, Taro was expected to take a job interview for a restaurant and Irish pub.
He is active to find a job. He would seriously like to work in an Irish pub so every friend encourages him.
His English is not great but he is a very experienced chef and a great craftsman so he will have no problem to find a good job.

This morning, it was sunny and occasionally cloudy so it was not bad.
I haven’t been to school for two weeks so I was a little bit nervous and excited.
Today I decided to take an exam.
But I didn’t have confidence in my English ability because I had been on a trip for two weeks so I couldn’t study English.
However, my speaking skills has improved.
The order of the exam was totally different from the last exam.
The first part of exam was writing, I had to write about my CV.
After that was the grammar section then I had listen to a CD and do some reading and the last part of the exam was my conversation skills.
Maybe I did better than last exam but I’m not sure if I can go to the next level or not.
